Xu Mingwei chuckled, she lowered her voice and said to Fu Heng, “In the future, you don’t need to worry about your underlings being lazy, or being constrained.”
After thinking for a moment, he said, “Your life is in danger. Do you want to go down and have a look, father and mother?”
Fu Heng fanned himself, but shook his head.
“Just wait and see. I’m afraid it won’t even take an incense stick to burn. That’s it.”
Xu Mingwei did not know what was going on, but after hearing him say that, she did not have any intention of going down to see what was going on, so she held back her curiosity and did not question him further.
After waiting for a while, the sedan chair bearer who was outside looked back and reported, “Your Majesty, the carriage has dispersed. Do you want to get up?”
Fu Heng called Pan Zi and gave him a few words before answering, “Since there are no obstructions, let’s head towards the Western Bridge.”
Xu Mingwei lifted a corner of the curtain and peeked outside. She had already scattered for a while, and was not able to see the bailiff at all, but she could see Pan Zi standing in the crowd and talking to some people. Just a few steps away was a sackcloth stretcher. Perhaps the one who carried her did not notice that half of his hand had been exposed from beneath the sackcloth. He had rotted long ago and his bones were visible. Only a few bits of flesh still stuck to the sackcloth.
She retched in disgust, only then did Fu Heng see it, and immediately covered the curtain of the carriage. Fortunately the weather was getting hotter, and they had the habit of carrying peppercorns with them at home, so Fu Heng untied the package and smelled it, then recovered.
“That corpse was already rotten to the point where it couldn’t be seen. Why are the constables so sure that it must be the girl from the Single Family?”
Fu Heng said, “I’ve heard that people who blackmail big families like that often happen in the past few years, so I will see it today. The yamen’s profits were low, and when there were fewer indictments, the yamen constables were quick to dig up silver. They took the chance to dig up the nameless corpse of a woman and carried it to the rich man’s house, claiming that it was the daughter of his family who had suddenly died, and wanted to take her to the yamen to ask about it. Most rich people were afraid of getting into trouble, and even if they did, it would not stop them. They were afraid that their reputations outside would be in trouble, and it would take at least three to five years for the rumors to spread. “When I first heard that it was such a thing, I also thought that those constables were really diligent and dutiful …”
Xu Mingwei finally understood the whole story. Seeing that his face did not lack disappointment, she comforted him softly, “But it’s also a good thing. At the very least, the murder of a stake is not real, and no family’s daughter has died for nothing. It’s not like there are a couple of white-haired parents in the world who gave away their lives to a black-haired person. ”
Hearing her words, Fu Heng felt better in his heart, but he smiled again, “Being like you, is indeed a good thing.”
For a moment, the two of them smiled at each other in silence.
The sedan chair lightly swayed and finally stopped in front of a tile bed. The sedan bearer bowed and knocked on the curtain, laughing, “Official, we have arrived.” This is the teahouse we were talking about. ”
Fu Heng supported Xu Mingwei down from the palanquin, while the servants behind were busy counting the copper coins they had earned. A Tea Doctor came over to greet them, with a white cloth wrapped around her arm. Fu Heng observed his words and actions, and secretly sighed, this teahouse seemed to be a respectable place.
“Are there any more seats up there? “If you want it to be quiet, don’t let anyone disturb you. It would be best if you could look at the river bank and reward the lights. I heard that you guys can still hear books from here?”
Fu Heng asked a bunch of questions, but the Tea Doctor was not anxious at all, and replied with a smile, “There are no such seats, it’s the busiest time of the year, but there are some guests who left early, so there is only one empty room. Esteemed guest, please follow me this way. May I know which tea do you like? There are still half a kilogram of Longjing in the building, which is very authentic. It is not made up of the same goods as the ones outside. ”
Xu Mingwei smiled and looked at Fu Heng. In this business, there was not a single truth in these ten sentences. He couldn’t wait to tell everyone that he came. His family business was very good, and only one person was left for him. If you were picky, then he would immediately take over. Therefore, it was best to quickly make a move, lest they miss it and disappear.
Behind the veil, Fu Heng could actually understand her eyes, and a smile appeared on his face, as he said to the Tea Doctor: “Let’s see, let’s talk about the tea leaves then.”
The Tea Doctor ignored them and continued to smile as he led them to an open area on the second floor. There was only an ancient high table, a stool was carved with the same quality of mind, and it was placed right in front of the window. When they looked up, they saw a stone bridge arched in the distance, placed on top of the Misty River, with five steps and one lamp, ten steps and each scene, their vision was indeed good.
Fu Heng was very satisfied, he turned around to look at Xu Mingwei’s words, only to see her nodding her head, and then he turned to Tea Doctor and said, “There is a scenery, where is the story coming from?”
The Tea Doctor laughed and pushed the window lattice, Fu Heng looked down, if it was not a stage, then what was it?
“This place, on the other hand, is so good that those who look down can hear it, but those who look down can’t see it. This is the room, made before the rain Longjing, and your family made good tea and fruit snacks sent up a few plates. “I have two attendants below me. They are also taking money to gather a table in the main hall and are eating some fruits with a little heart. If you don’t call for people, don’t come and disturb me.”
The Tea Doctor replied and went over, bringing tea and fruits in a short while. After they left, Fu Heng picked up his teacup and took a sniff, then laughed, “Where did the rain come from? I’m afraid that the place where our family’s tea is served is called the Rain Dragon Lake Mountain.”
Xu Mingwei giggled, and said, “It’s not bad to have this taste in such a small place.”
Fu Heng sighed and laughed, then said: “There are no outsiders in the house, they have already given orders, they will not easily come up, so you just take off your veil, at least be at ease.”
Xu Mingwei was also feeling depressed, she took off her veil.
“It’s a good thing that it’s not the weather of the sixth or seventh month. Otherwise, I would have been soaked in sweat by now.”
Fu Heng thought back to last summer, when he was still able to stay in the study room with her short sleeves and shorts cold. She covered himself tightly from head to toe, and couldn’t help but laugh. Having the Little girl! Little girl defend the door, even if they had to walk around the house wearing undergarments, no one would dare to say no. ”
Xu Mingwei thought, this was one of the benefits of spreading the news. In the past, when she was still at the Xu family, it wasn’t bad for her to wear something cool in her own room. However, in the Fu family, she could only follow the rules and not make a single wrong move. Now that she thought about it, she felt a bit bitter about it. It was just that she didn’t feel any pain then.
“Speaking of which, when are we moving?”
Although Xu Mingwei did not mention Hou Zhanshan’s name, Fu Heng knew that she was worried about this entire story, and so he explained, “Dong Zi has already brought people to the county magistrate’s office to clean up. With Yun Ping to take care of them, there shouldn’t be any problems. “When the other side is more or less tidied up, my ‘illness’ will naturally be cured. When that time comes, we will have to work hard and move it into the yamen. It would be hard for others to say anything.”
Xu Mingwei nodded and said, “When everything is settled, I will send a letter home. It’s just that I’m afraid that Mr. Fang would know and become impatient. They want to follow us even in such a hot day, it’s not easy to persuade them … ”
Fu Heng comforted his gently, “There’s no rush of time, even if she wants to come, your two martial girls will still advise her. At first, I thought that no one would take care of them on the road to Master Fang, so I let the two of them stay safe, but now that I think about it, I really shouldn’t have brought one along.
Xu Mingwei laughed, “What happens in life, how can it be considered perfect. We have to hurry. We can’t take her, but we don’t have a reliable escort from the escort company. “The most important thing for us to do is to leave the two little girls to protect our journey.”
Fu Heng also knew in his heart that he had treated Master Fang as his mother, so he didn’t mention anything else and led Xu Mingwei to the window to look at the lanterns. Because it was broad daylight and they were separated by a great distance, they could only see the shadows of the flowers on the bridge, but they could not see them clearly.
Xu Mingwei laughed, “Earlier, I thought that doing business was unreliable, all I could say was that I ran off the carriage, but in reality, even the sedan bearer doesn’t have a reliable mouth, it seems like it is just an ordinary scene, not even ‘The water is filled with light, the world is filled with smoke and fire’, the blind man is deceiving me.”
Just as she said that, she felt that something was wrong, and looked up to see Fu Heng laughing, “You said that the blind man lied to us, and we were both stunned. Where did the blind man get the ‘light in the water, and the fire in the world’?”
The two of them laughed again and felt like they were being silly. They actually listened to what the sedan bearer said and came to this teahouse to look at the lights.
Maybe it was because the teahouse spent money to buy the Blind Mr and the sedan bearer’s words that they managed to coax people to come here to eat tea and listen to books. Xu Mingwei sighed.
Fu Heng then pushed the window lattice on the right side and laughed: “The scenery is not worth it, the tea is not good either, I just do not know if there are any books to tell.”
He felt a strange feeling in his heart. If he had been deceived like this in the past and was always disappointed, it would be considered light even if he did not knock over the tea plates of this house.
But today was different.
Just because she was here, even the annoying things had become extremely interesting.
Xu Mingwei didn’t know what he was thinking, but she suddenly heard a sound from below.
“But the storyteller is going to start soon?”
She had only heard of the reviews on television before, but it was only for the new and faster exchange of information in the future generations. Xu Mingwei did not have the patience to listen to a whole bunch of them, thus he felt that they were extremely fresh.
Fu Heng laughed, “This is the beginning. Since we don’t want to watch anymore, we moved the tea fruit to the window. The evaluation will be done after eating the melon seeds and eating the fruits before it becomes interesting. ”
Xu Mingwei nodded in agreement. As expected, she brought the fruit plate and tea over, and when she sat down, she heard a long sigh from below. It seemed that in this era where there was no sound amplifying equipment, there was a need to have a good voice when it came to evaluating documents.
